Technical Content Creator

3 months ago we were 4 people. Today we're 20, across Engineering, GTM, and Applied AI.

I am up until 3-4am most nights, and I feel like I still don't have enough hours in the day. That's a good problem to have, but it's a sign. We need more brilliant people in our SF office. We're hiring for:

1. Founding engineers - Experience building or scaling distributed systems, databases, or storage infrastructure
2. Founding GTM - Own revenue pipeline end to end
3. Community Lead - Runs killer events & attend conferences
4. DX engineer - Interface with our customers daily to understand how to improve our APIs, docs, and write great guides
5. Technical content creator - Own the content marketing pipeline

We pay well with meaningful equity and are backed by some of the most amazing folks in the industry.

If you're interested: email [click apply] with something that shows how you think. A project, a piece of writing, a system you designed. No resume required, though you can include one.

ABOUT THE TEAM

HydraDB is building the graphDB infrastructure layer for modern AI. Our ICP is engineers and technical founders. The best way to reach them is not ads. It is content that teaches them something real, earns their trust, and makes HydraDB the name they think of when they need a graph layer. We have the technical depth to produce genuinely great content. We need someone who knows how to package it for the platforms where engineers actually spend time.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is not a brand content role. You will own HydraDB's short-form and long-form technical content across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. You will translate complex infrastructure concepts, graph databases, AI memory, agent architectures, into content that is fast, clear, and genuinely interesting to a technical audience. You will work directly with the CEO and engineering team to source ideas, and you will own the production end to end: scripting, filming, editing, and publishing.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Own content strategy and production across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
• Script and produce short-form technical explainers: how graph databases work, what agent memory looks like in practice, why object storage changes the cost curve
• Build and grow a technical audience of engineers, AI builders, and developer tool enthusiasts
• Develop repeatable content formats that compound over time, not one-off viral attempts
• Collaborate with engineering and GTM to surface content ideas from real product work and customer conversations
• Track performance and iterate fast: what lands, what doesn't, and why

YOUR BACKGROUND LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS

• You have built or grown a technical content channel before, on any platform, with a real audience
• You can explain how a database works, what a vector index does, or why graph traversal is different from SQL joins, on camera, in under 60 seconds
• You are comfortable scripting, filming, and editing your own content without a production team
• Strong instinct for what makes technical content worth watching vs. worth skipping

EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE

• Existing audience in developer tools, AI infrastructure, or software engineering
• Experience building content that drives developer signups or product awareness
• Familiarity with AI agent frameworks, memory systems, or graph databases
• Background as a software engineer who transitioned into content

BENEFITS

• Competitive comp + meaningful equity: we want builders to own a real piece of what they create
• Wellness programs: we support your well-being with programs and resources designed to help you feel your best
• Free meals: daily lunches, dinners, and snacks in the office
• High-ownership, high-agency: your content will be the public face of HydraDB's technical brand
• Flexible PTO: optimize for deep work, not busywork
• Top-tier gear + software: camera, lighting, editing tools, whatever you need to produce great work
• Learning budget: books, courses, conferences, and compute for experiments
• Team offsites: periodic time together to plan, build, and reset

ONE LAST THING

We care a lot about how people think, not just what they've made. When you apply, include a short answer to this: What is something you believe in that most people in tech would disagree with you on?

Applications without an answer will not be reviewed.
